Do not change yourself to please others, change yourself to please yourself. You are the person that truly matters in your life. You are the person you wake up to every morning and fall asleep to every night. Your life is for you.

About This Quote

People are constantly trying to fit into other people’s expectations. People always want to “please” other people by doing what they expect of you. They want you to do things the way they want it done, but if you’re happy with yourself, why would you care what other people think? They aren’t the ones who make your life worth living. They aren’t the ones who make you happy.

If they truly cared, they would appreciate your ability to do things their way and find joy in your own unique style of doing things. Some people try to change you because they don’t like who you are, but if that’s really true, then why bother?
